Grilled Tofu and Cucumber Skewers

January 16, 2018

When I am trying to eat healthy, I need to make sure of a few things, first that the food has lots of flavor, and second that I have plenty of healthy snacks around to curb my constant appetite.

I made these yummy tofu skewers as an afternoon snack last weekend to stop myself from getting unhealthy takeout and ruining my streak of eating well!

I took a long walk to my local Star Market in Fenway because it was like 25 degrees that day. which is basically tropical at this point in Boston. I was happy that I could get everything I needed at Star Market, including quality products from their exclusive O Organics® line!

Chop up the tofu into cubes and let it dry for a few minutes on some paper towels. This extra firm O Organics tofu is one of the most sturdy brands of tofu I have ever worked with, it didn’t fall apart on the grill at all.
Make the sauce with some chili paste, honey, and mustard.
Grill the tofu to brown on all sides.
Skewer the tofu with cucumber and mint, then pour the sauce on top and sprinkle on some more mint and peanuts.
These are very tasty and really satisfied my cravings for Vietnamese takeout!
A great snack that won't throw you off your game.
The O Organics® line, available in my area exclusively at Star Market stores, offers USDA certified organic products for creating delicious, healthy and affordable snacks your whole family will enjoy.
